Depths of Distress

What a great title for a challenge theme, and this is exactly what it is over on Simon says Stamp and show this week.
For the challenge I have made this little Memory Glass Hanger. I stamped the image and then coloured it using alcohol inks in the fillable pens, then placed it into the memory frame. I filled the frame with clear distress crackle. When it was dry I lightly applied some butterscotch alcohol ink to age it slightly.
The frame and fleur-de-lys are aged using vintage photo distress powder.
I added the swivel clasp to the top and then decide to drill a small hole in the top corner to put a brad into so it I dangle a philosophy tag from it.

Hello Carol. Your memory glass hanger is awesome! I love your stamped butterflies and then coloring them with alcohol inks! Beautiful job of aging the metal accents with Vintage Photo Distress Powder! This is DEFINITELY the depths of distress!!! Love it! Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
